The goal of mastering the discipline "Hospital therapy" is to study of the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations of the main therapeutic and endocrinological diseases; to consolidate and improve the skills in examining a therapeutic patient. 

 

The objective of studying the discipline "Hospital therapy" is to learn the principles of differential diagnosis of diseases of internal organs, taking into account the main clinical syndromes, etiopathogenesis, modern laboratory instrumental diagnostic methods; atypical forms of the most common diseases of internal organs; basic principles of pharmacotherapy of a number of diseases of internal organs in accordance with domestic standards and treatment protocols for these categories of patients; methods of emergency care, rehabilitation and medical examination of patients; medical and labor expertise; medical records. 

 

The discipline "Hospital therapy" refers to the base part of the block C1 of the discipline. 

 

"Hospital therapy" is one of the basic disciplines interconnected with the following disciplines: anatomy; biology; biochemistry; histology, embryology, cytology; normal human physiology; propaedeutics of internal diseases, diagnostic radiology; faculty therapy, occupational diseases; public health and healthcare, health economics; pharmacology. 

 

The process of studying the discipline is aimed at the formation of the following competences: 

 

During the study of the discipline "Hospital therapy", students learn the etiology, pathogenesis and preventive measures of the most common diseases of internal organs; the modern classification of diseases; the clinical picture, course features and possible complications of the most common diseases that occur in a typical form in different age groups; diagnostic methods, diagnostic capacities of methods for direct examination of a therapeutic patient; modern methods of clinical, laboratory, instrumental examination of patients (including endoscopic, radiological methods, ultrasound diagnostics); the basics of organizing inpatient care for various population groups, the principles of clinical examination, rehabilitation of therapeutic patients. 

 

Based on the acquired knowledge, students obtain the abilities to determine the status of a patient: to collect anamnesis, to conduct a survey of patients and / or their relatives, to conduct a physical examination of a patient (examination, palpation, auscultation, measurement of blood pressure, determination of the properties of arterial pulse, etc.); to assess the condition of a patient to decide on the need for medical care; to an initial examination of systems and organs: respiratory, cardiovascular, blood and blood-forming organs, digestive, endocrine, urinary; to assess social factors affecting patient’s physical and psychological health: cultural, ethnic, religious, individual, family, social risk factors; to give a preliminary diagnosis – to synthesize patient’s information in order to determine a pathology and its causes; to outline the scope of additional examinations in accordance with the prognosis of a disease, to clarify a diagnosis and obtain a reliable result; - to formulate a clinical diagnosis; to develop a therapeutic action plan, taking into account the course of a disease and its treatment; to formulate indications for the chosen method of treatment taking into account etiotropic and pathogenetic agents, to substantiate pharmacotherapy for a particular patient, to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the treatment; to use the methods of primary and secondary prevention (on the basis of evidence-based medicine) in medical activities, to establish cause-and-effect relations between changes in health status and the effects of environmental factors. 

 

Students develop the skills in proper management of medical records (preparation of a medical history setting out all the main sections in it, substantiating a clinical diagnosis, examination and treatment plans, as well as diaries and stage epicrisis when working with therapeutic patients); general clinical examination methods (questioning, examination, palpation, percussion, auscultation) for diseases of internal organs; interpretation of the results of laboratory, instrumental diagnostic methods in the pathology of internal organs; applying an algorithm for a comprehensive clinical diagnosis of therapeutic diseases; an algorithm for giving a preliminary diagnosis with the subsequent referral of a patient to the appropriate specialist, giving a differential diagnosis of therapeutic pathologies; basic medical diagnostic and treatment measures of first aid in emergency and life-threatening conditions. 

 

Types of educational work: lectures, practical classes, unsupervised work. The study of the discipline ends with an exam.
